Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants

These are used for the treatment of domestic wastewater that is generated in medium and large-scale settlements (cities, counties, towns, villages, etc.). The plants that are designed as reinforced concrete structures may be underground or aboveground according to the area where the plant will be installed.

Since municipal wastewater comprises the domestic and partly industrial effluents and rainwater generated in residential areas, there are differences in the design process depending on the application.

In general, the plant is designed so that it incorporates the appropriate processes such as coarse grid with automatic cleaning, fine grid with automatic cleaning, belt conveyor, compactor, flow meter unit, grit scraper and grease scraper, pumping station, bio-phosphorus unit, aeration tanks, sedimentation tanks, distribution structures, sludge thickening, sludge dewatering, disinfection unit and odor removal unit, according to plant capacity and operation conditions.

In order to ensure efficient operation of the Treatment Plant, a laboratory unit is usually built in such plants to make sure that the plant is running with optimal efficiency, through carrying out regular analyses concerning the input and output water from the plant.

Electrical and automation procedures required for the plant are designed according to the process to ensure ease of operation and maintenance. Optimal efficiency of the plant operation is guaranteed, thanks to PLC SCADA system.
